Saw Blade's Tension; Knob For The Adjustment Of Saw Blade's Position; Speed Adjustment - Fox F28-186A Manual De Instrucciones

II. Saw blade's tension FIG.8
WARNING!
A too high tension can break the saw blade. If the tension is too low, the saw
blade can slip from the driving wheel and stop.
Saw blade's tension must be adjusted according to the different width of the saw blades in
order to obtain a correct alignment, efficiency and suitable life's length.
 Lift the upper blade guide completely.
 To check blade's tension, push sideways the saw blade, in the middle between the
workbench and the upper blade guide: the saw blade must bend on its side from 1 to
a maximum of 2 mm.
 If necessary, adjust saw blade's tension:
 turn the handle 28 clockwise to increase the tension;
 turn the handle 28 anti-clockwise to reduce the tension.
III. Knob for the adjustment of the blade's position FIG.9
To work correctly the saw blade must be centred on flywheel rubber coatings. If it is not
aligned you must modify upper flywheel's inclination. By using the knob ( 29 ) you can
modify the inclination of the flywheel and thus:
 Turn the knob clockwise to move the blade backwards.
 Turn the knob anti-clockwise to move the blade forwards.
To lock upper flywheel's inclination, tighten the plastic wing screw located under the
adjustment knob.
IV. Speed adjustment FIG.10
By moving the belt on the engine and flywheel pulleys you can use the bandsaw at two
different speeds.
Inside the lower door there are some instructions explaining how to place the belt to obtain
two different speeds.
1. Open the lower door with a screwdriver.
2. Loosen the screws motor indicated
3. Loosen the belt by turning the motor unclockwise.
Move the belt on the desired position, tighten the belt again and close the lower door
by using a screwdriver.
